Report Summary:

Archaeological Investigations Ltd was commissioned through Jamieson Associates [Architects] on behalf of their client to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording on all groundworks associated with construction work at Great House, Longtown.

The work was required as a condition of the planning consent for the underpinning and extension of part of the house.

The work aimed to identify and record any features or deposits of archaeological significance uncovered during the excavation of trenches for the underpinning works.

No archaeological deposits or features were disturbed as a result of the excavations carried out.
